DIVING

Discover the transparent and amazing underwater world of Berlengas, a small archipelago located about 10 km west of Peniche classified as a Nature Reserve since September 3, 1981. Its marine reserve is classified as a “Biosphere Reserve” by the Council of Europe since 2011 and “World Biosphere Reserve” by the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO).

BERLENGAS ISLANDS

The Berlenga Nature Reserve is a unique place due to its transparent sea and underwater treasures. It is a marine reserve and has been classified by the Council of Europe as a “Biosphere Reserve”. The archipelago consists of a large island, Berlenga Grande, and some small granite islands and rocks (Estelas and Farilhões), which are situated some 7 miles off the headland of Cabo Carvoeiro to the north-west of Peniche. The island of Berlenga Grande can be seen from the mainland when there is no sea mist. Here you will find endemic species of flora, as well as one of the preferred nesting sites for sea birds.

Built on a rock adjacent to the Berlenga island and connected to it by a small bridge, there stands the Forte de São João Baptista, a Manueline military fortress built in 1502.The island’s tiny beaches with their clear blue sea are very beautiful and ideal for swimming and diving.

Access to the island is by boat, with departures from Peniche harbor. It takes roughly 30 minutes to reach Berlenga Grande. There is also a restaurant on the island.
